An Unspeakable Crime: The Prosecution and Persecution of Leo Frank by Elaine Marie Alphin
3.0
Listened to. Good summary of the case (the audio was only three hours) and researched descriptions of Frank, his family, court figures/politicians, and post-Reconstruction Southern culture. The only one who didn't get much mention--and this goes for a lot of true crime--was the 13 yo murder victim, Mary Phagen, who gets lost to the other details.
Still very engaging if not as in depth as a longer book would be. The reader's voice was something else: Stephen Colbert + Phil Hartman +Transatlantic accent. ✨
Definitely want to read more about this case, but many MANY of the online resources are clearly anti-Semitism and racist sites with neutral sounding names.
